Alliance Oncology, a division of Alliance HealthCare Services, a leading national provider of outsourced healthcare services, announced the opening of Singing River Cancer Center (SRCC). SRCC will be a part of Alliance Cancer Care, one of the largest radiation cancer networks in the southeast with over 50 years of combined experience offered at five different locations throughout Northern Alabama.
“We are extremely excited about the opening of the new Singing River Cancer Center,” said Douglas McCracken, President of Alliance Oncology. “SRCC brings together an extensive suite of oncology services, multidisciplinary experts, and advanced technology to give residents of the Shoals area and surrounding communities first-class cancer care in one convenient location.”
Located in Florence, Alabama, SRCC is a 45,000 square foot state-of-the-art cancer center that will offer innovative technology and collaborative care in a community setting and serve patients locally and throughout greater Northwest Alabama. SRCC occupants will include Alliance Cancer Care (ACC), Clearview Cancer Institute (CCI), Helen Keller Imaging, and Surgical Associates of the Shoals.
For patients choosing radiation therapy treatments, ACC offers several types of radiation therapy designed to treat all forms and stages of cancer. Their board-certified radiation oncologists, physicists, dosimetrists, therapists, navigators, nursing staff, and counselors provide a custom treatment plan and resources that address each patient’s unique needs. Treatments include external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), 3-D conformal therapy, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and brachytherapy. Treatments are outpatient and noninvasive, with minimal to no recovery time.
Clearview Cancer Institute focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, follow-up after treatment, and prevention of all types of cancers and blood diseases. Their board-certified medical oncologists and hematologists provide the latest in cancer treatment options including immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. Clearview will also offer a complete spectrum of state-of-the-art radiologic modalities, such as a wide-bore MRI, CT, X-ray, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, and PET-CT. CCI offers many educational and complementary services for their patients undergoing cancer treatment including stage I-IV clinical trials, genetic testing and counseling, social services, financial services, lung cancer screening programs, and survivorship programs.
Helen Keller Hospital will provide 3-D Mammography services. They are the only organization to offer an on-site breast nurse navigator who works with the physicians to assist patients with a variety of needs from pre-screening through diagnosis and beyond.
Surgeons at Surgical Associates of the Shoals deliver surgical care in an experienced, individualized way, while still providing the latest, greatest excellence in surgery care their patients need.
